Chapter 0219: The Pain in My Heart That I Always Wanted to Mention
"Didn't you always say that it was better not to meet again in the future? Why did you make an exception to ask me over today? ”
I quipped.
"Hey, hey! Isn't that missing you, old man! So, I can't help but ask you over to catch up. ”
Old Man Xiao rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
I had chills all over my body.
It's really not a good feeling to be remembered by an old ghost.
"Come on, there's something to say! It was you who helped Yuanyuan's mother and son at the beginning, and I will never forget this love. ”
I laughed and said it with absolute sincerity.
After hearing this, Old Man Xiao couldn't help but give me a thumbs up:
"Good boy, I haven't seen you for a while, and I've grown a lot! From the first time I saw you just now, I noticed that your strength has grown rapidly, but I didn't expect your consciousness to improve a lot. ”
"Thank you, old man, for the compliment."
I laughed.
"Actually, I asked someone to bring you a message this time and asked you to come over because Xiaofei's catastrophe is coming. As his grandfather, I shouldn't have been involved in his fate, but I found that his calamity was full of variables and needed the help of nobles. ”
"Noble people help?" I smiled and said, "So Dean Xiao's noble person is me?" ”
Old Man Xiao nodded lightly, and couldn't help but sigh for a while:
"My Xiao family is thin, and in Xiaofei's generation, there is only one female baby, and it seems that the incense will also be interrupted."
"But no matter what, I can't bear to let my precious grandson be swept up in an unwarranted disaster. Thanks to you for rescuing Xiaowei's child before, now it's her father's turn to be in trouble, you must try to save him! ”
I saw that Old Man Xiao became more and more excited the more he spoke, and I couldn't help but feel a sadness in my heart.
are already people separated by yin and yang, and they still can't forget the bond of family affection, this great emotion, plus I owe the old man a favor, it seems too much to say if I don't help.
"Old man, you can rest assured, Dean Xiao's catastrophe, I will definitely try my best to rescue him."
I swore to him.
After getting my promise, Old Man Xiao finally put his mind at ease and thanked me again and again.
After bidding farewell to Old Man Xiao's ghost, I returned to the ward where Zhao Xiaoshuai was.
I never thought that I would see Xiao Wei's father, Xiao Hongfei, the director of Ping An Hospital, also there.
At this time, he was helping to check Zhao Xiaoshuai's physical condition.
But he himself, looking pale, with slightly dark bags under his eyes, felt more like a patient.
Seeing me come back, Xiao Hongfei greeted me very cordially, and then started talking.
It seems that everything I did at Tokai Medical University, he also heard a little.
Talking about the Principal Chen, who died suddenly, Xiao Hongfei couldn't help but sigh.
Speaking of which, the personal relationship between the two is not bad, but he never expected that Principal Chen would be such a beast-hearted guy.
"This is really knowing people and faces, but not knowing their hearts! also blames Xiao for making friends carelessly and making bad friends by mistake. Fortunately, in the cycle of heavenly principles, he also suffered from himself and got the punishment he deserved. ”
Xiao Hongfei said helplessly.
I nodded, then stared at Xiao Hongfei's face and said with some concern:
"Dean Xiao, what's the trouble? Or is it uncomfortable, why is your face so ugly? ”
Xiao Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be slightly flustered, but quickly hid it, waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, it's just that I've been a little busy at work lately, and I haven't had a good rest."
With that, he deliberately changed the subject, talked to us for a few words, and then made an excuse to leave the room.
Looking at Xiao Hongfei's slightly thin body, I saw that Xiao Wei on the side was not very good.
It seems that the relationship between their father and daughter has always been strained, and I am embarrassed to ask in person.
However, one thing I can be sure of is that there must be some ulterior story happening to this Xiao Hongfei.
Otherwise, it is impossible to involve major matters related to life and death.
So I secretly decided to find a way to track Xiao Hongfei's every move to see what secret he had.
At the end of the day, I had very little information to detect.
It seems that Xiao Hongfei is acting normally in the hospital, and there is no strange behavior.
It wasn't until the evening that the hospital staff began to get off work one after another, and I found that Xiao Hongfei, who was still busy, suddenly stopped his work and began to change clothes and prepare for work.
However, this seemingly ordinary act aroused my deep suspicions.
Because he also said earlier that he has been busy recently, which causes his body to seem a little tired.
But right now, he seems to be more diligent than anyone else after work, and seems to be in a hurry to go on a date with a certain woman.
The reason why I think he went on a date with a woman is because he not only changed into a clean and neat suit, but also washed his face, shaved his beard, and even sprayed some men's cologne.
Something seems to be wrong.
So, I didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly borrowed Uncle Ma's taxi, ready to follow Xiao Hongfei, who went to the garage to pick up the car.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that I hadn't made any action yet, but I was suddenly stopped by Xiao Wei.
It seems that Xiao Wei also noticed her father's strange behavior and wanted to find out with me.
I was a little hesitant at first.
After all, it is about Xiao Hongfei's catastrophe, and I am afraid that Xiao Wei will have extraneous branches.
But at her repeated requests, I had no choice but to compromise.
The two of us drove Uncle Ma's taxi all the way down.
On the way, Xiao Wei suddenly asked me:
"Shaohui, what kind of person do you think my father is?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then replied:
"Dean Xiao seems to be a little old-fashioned, but his nature is not bad, he is kind and loves his work, he has the heart of a doctor, and he is a good dean."
"Good dean...... He's a good dean, but he's not a good father......"
Xiao Wei said with a sad face.
Next, Xiao Wei told about the past of her father Xiao Hongfei.
It was then that I got a general idea of her father.
Xiao Hongfei is a workaholic who loves his career far more than his family.
In the early years, he was immersed in his work and rarely returned home.
Over time, Xiao Wei's mother, who was neglected, became worse and worse because of emotional injuries.
In the end, when Xiao Wei was ten years old, she couldn't afford to fall ill and died early.
Therefore, Xiao Wei has always resented her father.
She always thought that Xiao Hongfei snubbed her mother, which caused the relationship to break down, and finally caused her to die of depression.
"So, in my opinion, he is not a competent and qualified father, or rather he does not deserve the great title of father at all!"
Xiao Wei said angrily.
However, Xiao Wei's words couldn't help but poke at the pain in my heart that I had always been reluctant to mention.
Once upon a time, the title of father was also unfamiliar to me, and I was even full of resentment towards him.
That man abandoned me and my mother, and my whereabouts are still unknown, and I have not seen anyone alive or dead.
And my childhood was spent with my mother and the ridicule of others.
I used to ask my mother where that guy had gone.
Or death somewhere!
It's a pity that my mother never told me the answer, but I was silently sad.
As I grew up, I gradually understood that my mother still loved the man who abandoned us.
It's just that despite this, I still don't have the slightest affection and affection for the so-called "father".
